The goal is to monitor the restoration of a wetland through tidal inundation of an unused paddock as a pilot project to assess the feasibility of blue carbon projects.
The purpose of this project was to develop a Bayesian Network (BN) to model the cause and effects of flow-related hydro-ecological and socio-ecological links within the Peace-Athabasca Delta (PAD). The overarching aim of the BN was to integrate Western scientific methods with Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to support Environmental flow… Read More
As efforts to restore coastal habitats accelerate, it is critical that investments are targeted to most effectively mitigate and reverse habitat loss and its impacts on biodiversity. One likely but largely overlooked impediment to effective restoration of habitat-forming organisms is failing to explicitly consider non-habitat-forming animals in restoration planning, implementation,… Read More
The purpose of this project is to establish a baseline and perform ongoing automated fish monitoring across estuaries of the Gold Coast. The monitoring results will inform the City of Gold Coast local council and community on the health of estuaries in the Gold Coast.
The purpose of this project is to develop an automated data processing pipeline that can count and detect species travelling in fishways. The fishways are located in Finnish rivers used for hydropower.
More than 350,000 chemicals and mixtures are currently registered for commercial use, ranging from pharmaceuticals, personal care products, pesticides, fire retardants, industrial compounds, and more. After use, many of these chemicals end up in the environment, whether from wastewater discharges, surface runoff or other point and non-point sources. Yet less… Read More
Human activities release large quantities of wastewater to rivers and oceans. This wastewater often contains toxic chemicals, which can adversely affect living organisms. Our current methods to assess the toxicity of wastewater effluent are relatively insensitive and expensive, which means that monitoring is only infrequently conducted and is not protective… Read More
We provide the City of Gold Coast with monitoring, analytical, and interpretive services through a Receiving Environment Monitoring Program (REMP). The aim of the REMP is to provide a structured, robust and repeatable water quality monitoring program to monitor impact of the release of recycled water generated by the City’s… Read More
